Editorial Reviews

This was an absolutely lovely novella collection, though and I would recommend it to Amish Fiction fans who might be looking for a little something different :)

The Quakers of New Garden was an enjoyable read. I read it very quickly because the stories are simple. But, although they were simple, each story had strong emphasis on faith, family, and friends. I think the authors did a fantastic job of weaving their books together, taking us from one generation to the next. It was fun as the reader, to travel through time with this family!

Solid Storyline but the language a bit much The Quakers of New Garden Claire Sanders, Ann E. Schrock, Jennifer Hudson Taylor, Susette Williams Description: Four Quakers of New Garden face trials of the heart.

Review: I really liked the story lines for all the books. They were well thought out and easy to read except for the Ã¢ÂÂtheeÃ¢ÂÂ Ã¢ÂÂthouÃ¢ÂÂ and like language. It was OK at the start but became a noose during the reading because the weighed down the dialogue. I struggled through this with the start of each story until I could block it out. It seemed to me that it should have been phased out and I doubt that it would have bothered me. They were fun to see them blend from one part of the family to the next with characters that would pop into other stories. I am glad that I read it over all and look forward to hearing good things from these authors in the future. I would like to thank Net Galley and Barbour Publishing, Inc. for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

Gives insights into the Quaker religion/beliefs. Reading about the historic Underground Railroad was interesting but I was hoping to learn a little more about the Quakers than I did in this book even though it did give quite a bit of information. April 8, 2013

I began this book and didn't want to put it down. The authors made me feel as if I was back in that time period. Good characters and a good story line. Could connect each new story with the previous story. March 28, 2013
